Signing Times & Speech Therapy

Emily started her speech therapy last week & she is already showing progress. So far she says ball, bath, duck, bear, dog, mama, & dada. (a couple of times we’ve heard her say JOE while watching Blues Clues) They are not all super clear, but we know what she is trying to say. I was so proud to watch her pointing to things in a book and trying to sound the word out. She is also starting to use some signs on her own like bed, choo choo train, eat & more. We have all been practicing our sign language to make it easier for Emily to communicate with us while she’s learning to say more words. We are constantly watching sign language videos & she is also starting to pick up on the signs they teach. (Baby Einstein & Signing Times)

Emily is now able to match up wooden puzzle pieces to the picture on the puzzle board. (you can read the full update on our website next Wednesday 3/ 18)
